If you look closely, you can see why this time period is so extra special to those of us old enough to have been there. The cars are so crude by today’s standards and yet they can be so much more interesting by comparison. You can see just how badly they wanted to race by the way the cars are built. Some features make you scratch your head and wonder why they did it that particular way. Other features make you smile at the ingenuity. And, finally, some ‘safety’ features make the hair on the back of your head stand up (there can be no doubt it took a brave soul to drive those rigs)!

Thanks again for taking the time to post these gems, they always appeal to a wide audience and all of us sincerely appreciate the effort made to bring back this time period through images
